Safe thrown into Douglas harbour
A Douglas man has admitted drunkenly stealing a safe from a couple's home before throwing it into Douglas harbour.
Thirty-one-year-old Dean Whitehead, of Heather Crescent, took the safe - which had £400 in it - from a house where he had been drinking on 4 August last year.
CCTV footage showed him staggering along North Quay before dropping the safe, with cash "spilling everywhere".
The court heard he scooped up the bank notes before throwing the empty safe into the harbour.
He will be sentenced on 26 February.
